Ethnicity Map of American Voters per Address

For these nine maps we mapped all 164 million registered voters in the US to their actual address and assigned a color depending on the percentage of voters on the address that had a certain ethnicity.

The coloring is brighter the higher the density and as a result population density patterns emerge.
